-(a-1)(b-1)(c-1) Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression? Choose 1 answer: (A) (1-a)(b-1)(1-c) (B) (1-a)(1-b)(1-c) (C) (a-1)(1-b)(1-c) (D) (1-a)(1-b)(c-1)

Given Expression: We are given the expression -(a-1)(b-1)(c-1) and we need to find an equivalent expression among the options provided.Distribute Negative Sign: Let's distribute the negative sign across the expression. This will change the sign of each term inside the parentheses. -(a-1)(b-1)(c-1) = (-1)*(a-1)(b-1)(c-1)Apply Negative Sign: Now, we apply the negative sign to each term inside the first set of parentheses. (-1)*(a-1)(b-1)(c-1) = (1-a)(b-1)(c-1)Compare with Options: We can see that the expression (1-a)(b-1)(c-1) is equivalent to the given expression. Now, let's compare this with the options provided.Option (A): Option (A) is (1-a)(b-1)(1-c), which is not equivalent to our expression because the sign of the last term (c-1) is different.Option (B): Option (B) is (1-a)(1-b)(1-c), which is not equivalent to our expression because the signs of the second and third terms are different.Option (C): Option (C) is (a-1)(1-b)(1-c), which is not equivalent to our expression because the sign of the first term is different.Option (D): Option (D) is (1-a)(1-b)(c-1), which is not equivalent to our expression because the signs of the second and third terms are different.Correct Equivalent Expression: The correct equivalent expression is not listed among the options provided. Therefore, none of the options (A), (B), (C), or (D) are equivalent to the given expression -(a-1)(b-1)(c-1).

(B)

(1-a)(1-b)(1-c)

Given Expression: We are given the expression $-(a-1)(b-1)(c-1)$ and we need to find an equivalent expression among the options provided.
Distribute Negative Sign: Let's distribute the negative sign across the expression. This will change the sign of each term inside the parentheses. $\newline$ $- (a - 1)(b - 1)(c - 1) = (-1) \cdot (a - 1)(b - 1)(c - 1)$
Apply Negative Sign: Now, we apply the negative sign to each term inside the first set of parentheses. $\newline$ (\(-1)\cdot(a $-1$ )(b $-1$ )(c $-1$ ) = ( $1$ -a)(b $-1$ )(c $-1$ )
Compare with Options: We can see that the expression \(1-a)(b $-1$ )(c $-1$ )\ is equivalent to the given expression. Now, let's compare this with the options provided.
Option (A): Option (A) is \(1-a)(b $-1$ )( $1$ -c)\, which is not equivalent to our expression because the sign of the last term c\(-1)\ is different.
Option (B): Option (B) is \(1-a)( $1$ -b)( $1$ -c)\, which is not equivalent to our expression because the signs of the second and third terms are different.
Option (C): Option (C) is a\(-1)( $1$ -b)( $1$ -c)\, which is not equivalent to our expression because the sign of the first term is different.
Option (D): Option (D) is \(1-a)( $1$ -b)(c $-1$ )\, which is not equivalent to our expression because the signs of the second and third terms are different.
Correct Equivalent Expression: The correct equivalent expression is not listed among the options provided. Therefore, none of the options $(A)$ , $(B)$ , $(C)$ , or $(D)$ are equivalent to the given expression $- (a - 1)(b - 1)(c - 1)$ .
